I record conference calls in an crazy way but this is how I do it. I have a skype in number I just call into the conference call with my treo. Then put that call on hold and call my skype in number and then conference the two calls together on my treo. I have the Skype in number going to my Mac and I use Audio HiJack on the Mac to record it to MP3. Just remember to mute the mic on the Mac or it will ruin the sound quality.

Thanks

3. At Oratos we have two podcasts, both of which are interview-based.

We use HotRecorder, which essentially records Skype calls. It's not perfect, but it does what it says on the tin. It's only about $15, so they might well be prepared to donate.

4. Jason...Am I to presume that you're looking for something other than Skype, something mere mortals will have and be able to use?

5. Jason, this might not be quite what you are looking for, but have a look at Talkshoe (www.talkshoe.com). Leo Laport uses it for net@nite. But it does give you the opportunity to do the show live and have the audience interact with you and your guest.

6. We use RainDance (http://www.raindance.com) for all of our internal meetings. There's a flat fee of $100/month I believe and then you can add features to that. Following a 'conference' you can download the show and distribute. We send the media files to individuals who couldn't make it on the call. Works very well. Not a kludge. All participants are required to handle their own long distance, or you can offer them a toll-free for a per minute fee.

7. We use Accuconference. It records and the per minute price is very inexpensive.

It produces wav files which are available immediately at the conclusion of the call.

8. You mentioned needing transcription services...for a recent podcast interview we just used a service called www.castingwords.com and it was amazing. We got the transcripts back in a couple of days and a 40 minute mp3 cost us about $12. Best of all the transcript was perfect, came with hyperlinks, and was delivered in HTML, TEXT and RSS...

9. this may be useful. wwww.podference.com
our typical clients are coaches, speakers and trainers that want to extend their live conference call beyond the call date and have custom titles and descriptions delivered directly into people's iTunes. You can email me directly if you have any questions: jk@podference.com
I am glad to help.

13. Hi there, Hotrecorder does not record most softphones.

A couple months ago I discovered easyvoiprecorder, which started as a multi-softphone recorder, with 7 compatible softphones, now it works with 23 or something like that, great for me.

It's not free, and records only softphones (including SKYPE), not hard Voip phones or anything like that.

Bottom line, I use it for recording long distance calls I do to my family and friends and then edit them, is fun and works like a charm, it costs 20 bucks I think.

If you want to try for free, pay them a visit at www.easyvoiprecorder.com

14. Jason, you should take a look at Lypp.com. It's easy and makes recording conference calls trivial.
